"Help GHOUL buy a van! Being mutants from a far-away country who barely know how to read and write, and who have limited access to non-pickled-cabbage-related currency, we have a lot of trouble finding transportation in your country. The last tour we did we ended up lashing ourselves to the roof of the headliner's merch truck every night after the show. Not only did they not appreciate the extra gas money we cost them, but we all ended up getting sick with the flu and Dissector was hit in the face by a passing pigeon not once, but twice. Now YOU, the noble and courageous Numbskull, have a chance to help US, the poor, benighted cannibals of Ghoul, by donating to our Kickstarter campaign. Not only will this help the band in the short term, it will allow us to tour more often and bring our message of brotherly love and peace... no wait, I got that wrong... our message of DEATH AND HORROR to you kind, generous, and physically attractive Ghoul fans. Donate now and get some junk!"
With (hopefully) a NEW van to ferry them across this dread continent, GHOUL, will be continuing their mammoth US trek with GWAR with an additional round of live assaults. Joined by prog-doomsters KYLESA and LEGACY OF DISORDER. The band will be shredding through classic cuts as well as newer material from 2011's critically acclaimed and viciously fun Transmission Zero (now available on CD/LP/digitally from Tankcrimes).
In addition, GHOUL will be offering up a special treat for fans of sweet tunes and weird formats - a limited edition foil-stamped flexi, available only from the band themselves and their cohorts at Tankcrimes. Digestor smirks, "We did a cover of "Kids in America" by Kim Wylde, and it was recorded by a dude named Casey Westrope, or at least that's what it looks like his drivers license says. It's hard to read what with all the blood. Our version is about being trapped in the doldrums of everyday life in the catacombs and dreaming of escaping to America to savagely murder our fans. I'm happy to say we'll soon see the dream become reality."
The "Return of the World Maggot" tour kicks off in Richmond, VA on March 16th, 2012 with a special tribute show to benefit the family of GWAR's Cory Smoot, AKA Flattus Maximus, who recently passed away. All proceeds from the Richmond show will benefit the "Smoot Family Fund." The first leg of the tour will feature RVA thrash titans MUNICIPAL WASTE as direct support for fellow Richmond metal legends GWAR, with KYLESA taking their place later on.
